Sorry to hear you’ve not been well Jim, Hope your on the mend and getting back to good health.

Finally the 22″Ploughing wheels and Plough….. I have to say its a bit of a beast in this guise! Lifting the machine onto the offset axle is a hefty task, requiring some assistance from the wife to guide the handlebars and watch the holes lining up. Once together it looks awesome, I can’t wait to find some ground and have a go with it!!! But, only after Tractor World Autumn!

Here’s a video of the 1st test drive…… Am very pleased it all works as it should!

after an evening of ‘spanner wielding’ we had this? It was a bit late to try to start it by the time I had finished. It’ll have to wait until the morning……

Next job was to sit the engine on the gearbox and check the clearance issue the new bigger tyres created…… Upon deconstruction and test fitting the new tyres, it was discovered there would only be 2mm clearance between tyre and air shroud. My initial thought was to raise the engine by using a piece of 8mm flat plate. My hope was that the original drive chain would still fit as there was a lot of slack in it and the only modification required would be to enlarge the hole of the back plate to allow the engine output shaft clearance. Am pleased to say my idea worked perfectly!!! Chain drilling the cast back plate to enlarge the holes took a little while…..
